Another cool morning for July (low 50's) started off a little foggy but eventually turned sunny and warm. My main focus was to make it over to Quabbin Park to check on the Mourning Warblers. After quite a bit of looking I eventually found the female working low through some ferns carrying some food. She disappeared and was not seen again. Around twenty minutes later I found the male about 150' away. He was largely silent except for a few chip notes and didn't show too well. It does indeed look as if the warblers have indeed bred here which is unprecedented for this low an elevation and this far east and south in the state.
Besides the Mourning Warblers I had a decent selection of species with quite a few young birds around and a noticeable lack of bird song. Link to eBird list with more photos:
